Which zone would you like to settle down in?

As the title says, which zone would you like to settle down in once all the problems in Eorza are gone?

I was really partial to the Azim Steppes.

Southern Thanalan or the Goblet itself. Goblet and Lavender Beds both tied for me. I like forest stuff and I love desert settings too.

Coerthas, or azys lla

Kugane. It's a peaceful city with pleasant aesthetics and many exotic things on sale. It's also neutral, so isn't consumed by war.

Don't want to link a picture to it but the last zone of ShB, that one area. Would love to have a place deeeeeep into that area, such that it's all you see from all areas.

Il Mheg. My favorite zone in the game.

Hmm. Either on the family chocobo farm in the Dravanian Forelands (Character stays fit by daily activity and a diet that consists of raw vegetables and fish)

or beekeeping in Middle La Noscea (Character gets chunky due to caloric surplus from honey, nuts, bread and fruit)

Indeed, my character is always thinking about food. An area with a reliable food source would be the biggest determining factor, and these two zones are some of the most bountiful.

As of now? Hmm...

On the Source, I think Vicious could settle in the Ruby Sea quite easily. Someone's got to keep those Aramitama's tame afterall, and then there's the village of Isari, the Confederacy, and the Kojin for company. Easy access to Yanxia to visit with Hien and easy access to Azim Steppe to visit the Mol and participate in the Naadam every time it comes up, so he doesn't lose his skills. A nice cerulean view from the top of Heaven on High as well. Feel like a wild night on the town, take a trip to Kugane. Easy peasy.

On the First, if that could remain an option after everything's over, then I could also see Vicious taking up the task of restoring Holminster Switch. It's a beautiful tract of land, and in spite of being extra crispy, there's some good building foundations there to take advantage of, and that'd be a super nice place to just settle and retire too, I feel.

Sea of Clouds. Such a peaceful and carefree place with plenty of scenery.
ll Mheg. I mean that place is beautiful and vibrant with color and with the Fae, I would probably never be bored.

Sea of clouds is nice but id probably be afraid of falling off

Il Mheg and all that it entails.

Without a doubt one of the more relaxing regions (after the change in rulership) with denizens that will make life interesting enough to not be boring.

Alexander. Get him walking again and take home with me wherever I go. Sure, there's that whole "destroys the land with aether-draining primal power" thing to work around, but I'm the Warrior of Light, plot convenience bends itself to my will. I'll figure something out.

I’d probably take over Bookman’s Step in Il Mheg or go live in Shirogane

Either Old Sharlayan for the great amount of knowledge there would continuously keep me busy or Sui-no-sato because I like water and the place looks pretty :3

The Azim Steppe, so that I could participate in the Naadam with the Dotharl and take over the Steppe.

Otherwise, I'd probably choose Limsa Lominsa or Kugane. I like cities

Yanxia seems suitably serene. Great agriculture, fishing, and a lovely sunset. Maybe we can take down the ugly Garlean stuff tho.

Idyllshire. I still think there should be a housing area there.

Werlyt, specifically Terncliff. It's got such a lovely Mediterranean coastal town feel to it. (Terncliff housing when?)

Failing that, maybe back to my character's ancestral homeland of Ala Mhigo. Or Ishgard... after all, House Fortemps considers the WoL to be family.

Ishgard and/or The Tempest.

I like the snow, and the Tempest is just wow.

Eastern Thanalan and the Peaks in Gyr Abania are beautiful. Only thing I'm not a fan of would be the heat. I live in Southern California and I absolutely hate the 110+ degree summers here. Just agonizing to go outside any time between April and October. And since Eorzea isn't living in the 21st century, I'd have to spend a lot of time outside doing work. If I had to work a the fields in that heat, I'd keel over and die for sure. Fortunately I have never seen the heat wave status effect in either Eastern Thanalan or the Peaks, so my headcanon is that it is cooler.

If I had to pick a city, it'd be between Ul'dah or Kugane. Beautiful cities. Behind the scenes, the politics of Ul'dah and Kugane are a mess with the Syndicate members and the Hingashi lords in a constant power struggle, but you don't really see that as a commoner. Problem with Ul'dah is that I don't really see any commoner housing. Kugane seems very comfy (maybe I've just seen too much slice of life anime, so it kinda seems romantic? IDK). Problem with Kugane might be the humidity. I went to Austin Texas once and I could barely see because my eyes were tearing up, and I was sweating and it was sticky and miserable. According to google, Tokyo seems to have the same humidity as California, so it might be okay? IDK.

Gridania is also a good second pick. And Limsa (just not a fan of how rowdy that place seems to be in canon).

Dalmasca might also be pretty good, but it appears to be in a sandy desert so there might be heatwave problems. Don't know how the Garlean occupation affects the common man. In FFXII the occupation didn't really affect daily life, and the XII Legion seems to be actually competent rulers and not baby eating tyrants like every other legion in the game.

!00% This! Idyllshire is my favourite of the end game hubs and I miss it. I would love to have a housing district in the forelands, let us rebuild the ruins there and move in!
